strikers... its a must have I think, Its amazingly fun, but if your going to get it, I suggest you have online access.... and yes, resident evil 4 is great as well... Reserve Metroid, its supposed to be amazing... wait for the other upcoming games as well... I already have a list of 32 games that I MUST have when they come out... Battalion Wars 2 is going to be sweet. SSBB, Super Mario Galaxies. NiGHTS. Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles. Mario Cart Wii... The list goes on.

Secondly some great games out now are, RE4 and The Godfather.
Your mistake looks like you just played the wrong games, like the sonic one, just read reviews and stuff and you will get a better idea of what to play. Unless you like taking chances and won't complain about it after.
